Nuts & Bolts of Reasonable Accommodation

Course Summary

This course walks attendees through everything you need to know about disability law. We’ll start with the basics: who is covered by disability laws and the different types of claims that can be raised, including harassment, non-selection, disparate treatment, failure to provide reasonable accommodation, and disclosure of confidential medical information. Then we’ll cover how agencies should respond to requests for reasonable accommodations, with a discussion of ways to effectively accommodate mental disabilities in the workplace, and how to address performance and conduct issues where the employee has requested or has a reasonable accommodation. Finally, we’ll focus on the most often­ requested accommodations, leave and telework, and what obligations agencies have and best practices for responding to those requests. We’ll also cover when medical documentation is needed to respond to reasonable accommodation requests, fitness-for-duty examinations and direct threat analysis, and confidentiality of medical documentation.
